description Product Description
β-Sitosterol is widely used in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries due to its cholesterol-lowering properties. It is commonly incorporated into dietary supplements aimed at reducing LDL cholesterol levels, thereby supporting cardiovascular health. Additionally, it is utilized in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), as it helps alleviate urinary symptoms associated with the condition. In the cosmetic industry, β-Sitosterol is valued for its anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties, making it a key ingredient in products designed to treat eczema, psoriasis, and other skin irritations. Furthermore, it is employed in functional foods and beverages to enhance their health benefits, particularly in promoting overall wellness and immune system support. Its antioxidant properties also contribute to its use in anti-aging formulations.
